My name is Briarna, I’m 16 and I have been supporting Justin since early 2009, which makes it nearly 4 years now. All of those 4 years I have been absolutely determined to meet Justin, that finally happened when Justin came down to Australia for promo . My best friend Gabi and myself went to the hotel Justin was staying at in Sydney. There were hundreds of fans waiting outside. I scrolled through my Twitter feed and came across a photo that @allisonkaye posted of herself, @dankanter and @scrappy at a restaurant they were eating at. We knew where the restaurant was so went straight to it, when we arrived there were around 400 fans waiting . Fans were tapping on the window, standing on each other’s shoulders and screaming. I decided to DM Kenny that I was outside the restaurant and wanted to say hey but I never received a reply. My friend Mim had a notepad and she wrote on it “Please get Kenny to check his DM’s from BieberFlexes”, Allison was busy on her phone but Scrappy came over to the window and put his thumbs up as if he would tell Kenny. Gabi had wondered off and I hadn’t noticed where she had gone until she came back and told me she saw Allison outside the restaurant going to the bathroom and she spoke to her and asked her to tell Kenny to check his DM’s. She said she would and we waited, but nothing. Allison, Dan and Scrappy were getting ready to leave the restaurant so Gabi and myself went to a door that lead into the restaurant, security was blocking it but Gabi pushed past them and she held my hand and we went into the restaurant. We saw Allison and Gabi went up to her and told her that I was BieberFlexes and she said, “Okay, I promise I’ll tell Kenny to check his DM’s”. Luckily enough Allison kept her promise. We made our way to the lobby and waited there, shortly after we heard girls screaming saying that Kenny just came outside the restaurant for no apparent reason, so as I thought. My phone then lit up with a notification from Kenny saying, “I just went out. Come outside the restaurant.” We ran straight back to the restaurant and when we got there, there were still so many fans . The door we pushed open was not covered by security so Gabi opened it again and went in. She saw Kenny sitting down at a table, getting his attention letting him know that I was outside. Kenny then came out being mobbed by every fan that was there. He then said, “Whoa whoa whoa, time out. Now where is BieberFlexes?” I was standing at the back of the fans and I put my hand up signaling Kenny that it was me. Kenny then walked towards me and said, “So what’s up”, I was speechless so I called Gabi through all the fans and told her to come over. We explained to Kenny how hard I had been trying to meet Justin after 4 years. Kenny took in everything we said whilst pulling out a packet of gum and popping it into his mouth, LOL! He then said, “Now let’s keep it down and not make it obvious, I’ve got you two tickets to the secret show tomorrow night and I’ll make sure you meet him.” Freaking out inside, I gave Kenny a huge hug and thanked him. He told me not to stress and that I was welcome. He told me he would DM me the rest of the information. I was completely speechless, after 4 years of trying to meet him it was actually going to happen. I could go to sleep knowing that I was actually meeting Justin the next day. The next day Gabi and myself got up and made our way to the secret show. We arrived and there was a red carpet, paparazzi and the rest. We headed inside and saw Kenny, we hugged him and spoke for a while and I thanked him again. Justin came out and we watched him perform, he was incredible. The secret show was the best thing I had ever experienced, only around 300 fans in the room. I was able to not worry about anything around me, I just kept looking at Justin hitting every note perfectly thinking I was going to meet him. It was surreal. After the show had finished we waited in the line for the M&G and we were at the back of the line, as the line kept getting shorter my moment to meet Justin finally came. I walked up to Justin and introduced myself; he smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek and then a hug to follow. After that he said to me, “Hello how are you?” I said, “I’m good thank you, how are you?” he replied, “I’m great thank you”. I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me back. Surprisingly I was super calm, Justin made me feel so comfortable, and it was amazing. We took the photo and he mentioned us to take one more, he said, “Wait aren’t we going to do that swap thing, so you’re next to me?” He pulled me in by the waist and we took the photo. I turned and smiled at him, I thanked him and he said no worries. I gave him another kiss and a hug and I told him I’d see him at Sunrise the next morning. After that all happened we walked down the path and we saw Justin walk over to the fans that were at the gate. It was just Gabi and myself; we stood there and watched him take photos with fans through the gate that couldn’t get into the show. After that, Justin started walking our way, he was with Alfredo. I smiled at Justin and he came straight over to us, was this really happening? Justin walked over and he was like, “Hey guys what’s up?” I asked him if he would mind if we took some photos, he said sure no worries. Justin took the first photo with Gabi and as he was holding her phone it had an unexpected incoming call from @KidrauhlYolo so Justin picked up greeting her saying, “Hey Abbey it’s Justin” then cracking up at her freaking out he handed the phone back to Gabi. After that I got my iPhone out and I said, “How about a selfie?” he nodded and said “Why not”. I was trying to press the button that flipped the camera around so I could take the photo with Justin but my Twitter notifications were covering the button and my phone was going crazy. Justin looked at me and we both laughed, it was so cute. Alfredo then said he’d take the photo so I gave my phone to him. After we took the photos, Justin stayed to talk to us, he was so sweet and patient. Gabi then said to Justin, “Briarna has been trying so long to meet you and Kenny met us at the hotel last night and that’s how we got to meet you” Justin then replied saying “Aww that’s so sweet”. I told him, “After 4 years of trying to meet you I finally did it” Justin looked at me and said, “I’m so glad we finally met, look at you now”. I was literally squealing on the inside at this point. I thanked him for taking the time to come and see us; he then gave me a hug and said no problem. I waved to him and he waved back and hopped in his car. After of all the hard times I went through trying to meet Justin and after all of the people who told me I would never meet him. I did it. I actually did it. And it was the most incredible experience of my life. I have never met someone so down to earth, patient, humble, sweet, caring and genuine as Justin. I’ll never ever forget everything that happened, I am so thankful for the experience I’ve had. I want to thank Allison and Kenny for being so generous towards me, it was unbelievable. If I could re live this experience I would, I’ll never forget it. -@BieberFlexes Here’s my recording of when I met Justin.
